All kinds of bird poaching need to be stopped immediately to protect the country's bio-diversity, speakers told a book-launching ceremony here Saturday.

"The country's bid population is gradually declining for various reasons, including poaching," said Vice Chancellor of Independent University Dr Bazlul Mobin Chowdhury at the function.

The function was organised at a city hotel marking the launching of a book, 'Nirer Pakhi', by Sadat Selim.

Prothom Alo editor Motiur Rahman, Sangbad editor Bazlur Rahman, Jugantor editor Golam Sarwar and artist Qaiyum Chowdhury, among others, spoke on the occasion.

Appreciating the writer for his work, they said this book would help the new generation know about various kinds of birds of the country and their role in protecting bio-diversity.
